JOE BIDEN: 62% APPROVAL




President Biden’s approval is hovering just above 60 percent more than four months into his presidency, buoyed by his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and improving views of the U.S. economy, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill.

Overall, 62 percent of respondents said they either strongly or somewhat approve of the job Biden is doing in the White House, while 38 percent said they disapprove. By comparison, former President Trump scored 45 percent approval in a May 2017 Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

Biden gets his highest marks for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with 70 percent saying they like the job he’s done so far to rein in the outbreak.

approve of the job Biden&Harris are doing - there is literally NOTHING that could make them say any Democratic Administration is doing anything worthwhile.

Factor out the Maroons and B&H are probably closer to 90+%.

Thank heavens he and Kamala won the election. I can't imagine the shit we would be in if they hadn't. Joe is a true hero in the quiet 'let me take care of this now' kind of way. I think I've said it before but he does make me wonder if god really does exist after all. Perhaps all those early morning prayers were heard. At any rate, I'm so thankful for him.

If they approve of Biden's performance, policies, and priorities, then they should be able to easily see and understand the contrast with all those Republicans who are actively (and passively) supporting the OPPOSITE of what the Biden administration stands for.

Should. Fingers crossed.
